Seem like an OK bunch from what little I can tell. Like Mo said, more like IJBM than us in terms of conduct, but they strike me as less... uh, pretentious and bitter?
Hm. The whole fact that they've got a site attached makes me feel weird for some reason, almost as if we and IJBM are the odd ones out for being exclusively forums.
Ah well. I probably couldn't come up with anything for us to add on here (besides maybe a more neatly-organized blog than the Tumblr).
as weird as it may sound for someone who is a rap fan, I really just cannot listen to people talk about stuff. There needs to be some kind of other element.

Well, that actually makes sense from a rap/hip-hop perspective: The spoken word is just one instrument or element which rarely works alone from a musical perspective unless layered or varied significantly. Plus, rhythmic voice is different from simply talking.
That aside, I enjoy podcasts when I am in the mood, much like I enjoy NPR.

HH and IJBM are both offshoots of a larger community. They're basically alternate places for the people from that original community to hang out, so it makes sense that we don't have anything associated.
This forum also struck me as having similarities to the early days of HH.
first two things I stumbled upon were a guy telling another guy that he made him a gaming computer build for *only* $800 and another guy saying Muslims are wide-eyed lunatics.
More people have said that and been killed than there are thorium decay products.
The only two rules are no porn and don't harass any members, so, like 4chan, it is one of those places where we see what happens when literally anything goes I guess. ^_^

Yeah, that's kind of silly
I mean, to get a gaming rig that can play modern games at high settings it only takes about $1000, you could build a gaming rig that plays games at about medium settings for a whole lot cheaper

The latter struck me as an extremely off-colour joke; I did not see the former.

Wait, what's wrong with the former?
the assumption that the person you're talking to just has $800 to spend freely.

Muslims around my area always look super pissed or violent. That and those huge arse pupils make them look even more psychotic. Why is that, Anyways?
Sounds like a problem to solve with the back of your hand.
Now this? This is kind of nostalgic of the TvTropes OTC. And that would be nice if OTC wasn't an evil pit that surpassed and consumed the original IJBM subforum, becoming a festering sore on the mind of humanity.

Well, OTC is less a hellhole now than a mire of self-indulgent intellectual malaise, but you are not incorrect.
I have actually expressed an interest in rejoining TVTropes before but the first time I asked to have my ban lifted I was met with a flat "no" (literally) and the second time I did not receive any response at all. So, *shrug*.
It's since become a game of how many sockpuppets I can have at a time.

I wanted to go sockpuppeting sometimes but I never did because I don't need that sort of excitement and also I do not like TV Tropes. It was mostly nostalgia for the Trash Heap.
well I mostly got myself banned because my attempts to leave willingly were not working so well and because I was told that I needed to cut down on stress-causers. Simplest way to get permabanned was to insult the mod team is all.

It really says something about an administration on a big forum when well-liked regulars are leaving (or being banned) en masse, making the effort of establishing new forums and such to continue their usual activities, and then these forums are successful.
It says more about us who make the forums, really.
I still swing by the old forums to see how the old Heap and some of my old stomping grounds are going. In most cases, the old threads and I have grown too distant for me to really care about what they're on about. But I visit anyways.
Sometimes I look on at Forum Games and Yack Fest longingly as if I want to rejoin, but I feel like I don't belong there anymore. I still visit the wiki (my biggest contribution as of late being one of the writers of the Character page for The Limbless Wonder) but that's more because I guess I enjoy the troping side of things more than the community itself nowadays.
I love it here though. I don't know if I'm leaving anytime soon, which is a very good thing.
One of the things I agreed with the administration at large about with was that excessive positivity and negativity should've been kept off the main pages. The main problem was that the former was almost never enforced and the latter overly so.
Comments
strikes me as more similar to IJBM than us. Though infinitely less annoying.
Further, what is GeekNights?
I signed up but am unable to comment because for some reason it won't register that I've already confirmed my e-mail.
so much for that I suppose.
it is mostly a video game site.
actually I take back the "but better" comparison to IJBM2. If anything it's worse. Check the DOTA2 or Scrolls thread.
why gamers are incapable of discussing anything even remotely civilly will forever remain a mystery to me.
also I kind of hate podcasts as a concept so I'm not entirely sure there'd be much a point to me joining at all.

I kind of hated them tbh.
